Pune,
It's 11.13pm. Silence everywhere. Perfect mood for writing for you. I like writing in blog. My mind always remain busy in thinking what to write for today's posts.
Today was saturday and I got an excellent idea to write a post on cleaning of my keyboard. When I had purchased my old PentiumIII model way back in 2002, this keyboard was with that PC. Its perfect peace and till day it was functioning well. Its almost 6 years now and I found one key was not functioning well since last year. I wanted to give this keyboard to the maintenance guy but today morning I thought of cleaning it in house itself and I decided to publish this post on the blog. so I prepared a small video which shows the basic internal parts of the keyboard.
As a preparation. I took small screw driver and opened all screws from back panel of keyboard. I removed back panel very smoothly. Then I removed plastic circuit shee which is completely transperent. I removed all the green colored small rubber bowls from each keys. Then I removed all the keys one by one. There was huge dust inside the keys. I removed the cable of the keyboard. I washed this empty assembly with water(Don't be surprised...yes with water I washed it). I dried it with dryer. Then I washed all the parts of the keyboard except the transperent circuit sheet.
You can see these parts in my video. As this is my first video post, plese kindly adjust with my shaky language....
After this video, I collected all dry parts and I started assembling it. I fixed all the keys first in the open slots to main panel. Believe me its so tough. I was not remembering which keys to fit where. Somehow I managed to fit it. Then I tested this newly assembled clean keyboard and to my surprise, all keys are functioning well. So its success. I made my day...
Love
